“…Yet, tourism accessibility or tourism for all is not mentioned in the Guidelines for Tourism Development in Latvia (Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Latvia, 2014). Further, the Action Plan for Tourism Development in Latvia for 2021–2027, in addition to marketing communication activities for the promotion of local tourism, emphasizes all necessary support for social tourism (Van der Steina et al. , 2019b).…”

“…Hence it is important to introduce the systems proposed and assess them with reference to a large number of users in order to obtain certain results about the effectiveness of such systems and the challenges that arise in practice (Kontogianni and Alepis, 2020). It is also pointed out that to date, many tourism industry decisions at the company, municipality, regional and national levels have been made based on intuition and not on research findings (Van der Steina et al. , 2019b).…”

“…Pearson correlations, ANOVA analyses, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses using socio-demographic variables shows significant variance in the overall attitudes [7]. Descriptive statistics was combined with a series of independent sample t-tests to assess statistically significant differences caused by socio-demographic characteristics of residents living in a tourism destination [41]. The two-level hierarchical linear model using the fixed effects model, random intercept empty model, random coefficients model, and Cook's distance test was used to assess the impacts of tourism conducted from perceptions of residents [42].…”

The issue of tourism impacts is one that has plagued the tourism industry. This study develops a quantitative approach using hierarchical variance analysis, which deals with the exploration of the relevant factors and the confirmation of their significant contribution to analyze the residents’ perception of tourism impacts. Hierarchical variance analysis includes three mathematical procedures: Cronbach’s alpha tests, the exploration of relevant factors, and a hierarchical factor confirmation. Data are collected using a structured questionnaire completed by 452 surveyed residents living in Ly Son Island, Vietnam. The significant effects of socio-demographic variables on the overall impact assessment are observed. The bilateral and simultaneous relationships are analyzed using a one-factor ANOVA. A two-factor ANOVA shows the significant contribution of each socio-demographic variable on the economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts. Interaction between factors such as “Education level”, “Type of work”, etc. are hierarchically confirmed. The findings allow a better understanding of the residents’ perception of the effects of tourism on society, the economy, and the environment. This provides a scientific basis to help define problems and promote legal regulations for community participation in tourism planning in a small island destination.
